re: #267 Killgore Trout

C’mon. You can’t attack police like that. If you were do do that as an indivilual they could legally shoot you for it. They used non lethal response because of the protests but you simply can’t attack police like that. A beatdown and pepper spray were completely appropriate.

NYPD has been overreacting to the demonstrations from the start, though. Some of those cops definitely seem to be ready to hurt people.

They should use whatever force is necessary to stop the crowd from advancing. But some of the beatings I’ve seen on video go pretty far past that point and turn into payback. That’s not right.
